Publisher's summary

Cassidy "Cazz" Warner, a smart, sporty, reticent newcomer to the senior class at Claiborne High, unwittingly attracts the attention of its most popular girl: Sarah Perkins, a bright, athletic, charismatic beauty. Just as the two begin to understand how extraordinary their friendship is, another cross-country move wrests Cazz away.

Ten years later, Cazz unexpectedly runs into Sarah during a fraud investigation at Sarah's charitable foundation. The women are inexorably drawn to each other, but Cazz's investigation into the foundation's finances limits her ability to be entirely honest with Sarah.

Already wary of Cazz for not keeping in touch after Claiborne, Sarah demands the truth. Will Cazz own up to her feelings for Sarah? Or is she too late? And will Cazz's investigation bring a killer to justice, or will she sacrifice herself to protect Sarah from a man desperate to conceal his crimes?

Excellent

This is my third Heather Blackmore book and damn...damn...so. damn. good. It has all the components of a good romance novel, young love, a separation and then 10 years later they meet again. Some authors can pull it off better than others but, did I mention, DAMN!!

Kazz, broken from her father's military lifestyle, comes alive in California when she meets Sarah during her senior year. Both are smart, athletic, competitive and beautiful. And then there's the sparks that fly between them. 10 years later they meet again as Kazz unknowingly walks into Sarah's non-profit as an undercover agent, on a tip that someone is embezzling. Sparks once again fly as the women reconnect tentatively and the secrets of their pasts are revealed. Great character development. Believable story line. Beautiful angst. We get to see the characters face their fears and overcome them on what is just a beautiful ride.

And then there's Lori Prince. She nails her performance, which is pretty flawless. She takes the book to a whole new level. I can't recommend enough.

Cute

The rating is PG-13 in all areas. If you are looking for Hallmark romance this is it. Good story, funny and sweet. Thumb up

Loved This Book!!!!! 😍

This Story Has Wonderful Character Development!!! The Storyline moves amazingly well! PERFECT ENDING!!! A #MustRead (Listen) 😉

This book cut deep.

This book made me feel things. The main character is a bright and shy military brat in high school. She is suddenly presented with feelings for the most popular girl in school. And the feeling is obviously shared. The girl is alil unbelievably amazing and perfect. As unbelievable the second main character is, the things she discovers and doesn’t say drive me insane. But...a gay woman who discovered thos in high school, alone, I definitely 100% agree with the author. If you see this, Ms. Author, you nailed it. When certain things happen and they huge event in the middle of the book tears you from this freakin beautiful, innocent love story, I was stunned. It was raw. The author was obviously trying to invoke the feeling of loss and damn it was well done. The first half was one of the most relatable things I’ve seen or read in print. I hope some young lgbt kid gets theirs hands on this book. The second half was cute, predictable and had a very happy ending. I felt is readers deserved it, after the first part. Tread lightly y’all, especially if you love and lost your first gay crush at a young age. I highly recommend this book.
The narrator is perfection. To her I’d say... Your voice is a thing of beauty <3.

Sweet book, a bit angsty. Not a lot of romance, kinda tame. Narrator was good.

Loved this book!!

This is by far one of my favorite stories to date. The characters and the narration was so good!!! It’s going to be saved as my favorite to listen to again.

Good mix of crime mystery and romance

Teenage Cazz and Sarah are adorable, but more than that their poorly understood feelings for each other are very poignant. The effect of a forced move is devastating. Ten years later, purely by chance, they Meet again. Cazz is On investigational assignment. Sarah is a director at her father’s foundation. The halting, back and forth, approach/withdrawal these two go through is agonizing to listen to but entirely credible. Some real investigational drama engineered by Cazz adds welcome excitement, but the real point is For our women to rediscover each other .You can feel the taut heartstrings from childhood carried All the Way through the Story until you ache for them.

loved it!

I truly enjoyed this book. the narration was fantastic. Lori Prince brought the story to life. I found myself laughing out loud and at other times feeling the sadness and emotional struggles of Cazz. I will read more from Heather Blackmore and have noted other books narrated by Ms. Prince.

Beautiful story telling...

If there was such a marriage between author and the narrator, then Lori and Heather have the best chemistry... Really enjoyed this one. Have now finished your books... cant wait for more..
